Mandel was very helpful I will be using his service in the future forsure. Thank you again for coming out on your busy saturday!

It was a pleasure working with Mandel and his team. Mandel was incredibly patient, helpful, professional, and responsive throughout the entire process. I also want to recognize the technician who came out to assist with my garbage disposal. Unfortunately, I can't recall his name, but he was equally patient, kind, knowledgeable, and informative. He took the time to thoroughly assess the leaking issue, clearly explained what was happening, and was able to fix it on the spot. I truly appreciate the level of service and professionalism I received. It's refreshing to work with a team that is responsive and genuinely committed to making sure the job is done right. I will definitely be using Mandel and his team for my future plumbing needs. Highly recommended, and thank you again! read more

Amazing service and great team! I had a unit that had a clogged up sewage line on the 2nd floor and a bursted shower line. Mandel was very responsive and gave reasonable prices (i verified with AI). His team worked through the issues and found the root cause for each. The unit has a tenant so communications had to be solid which him and his team handled very well. Thanks again for the help! read more

Service technician Dwayne arrived on time, very pleasant with good conversation. He was extremely efficient and had my faucet bib changed in less than 20 minutes. Now I can water my plants in the backyard. I'm a very happy customer. Thank you so much Rapid Action Router. Mita read more

Much to my dismay, I discovered a geyser shooting water up from a pipe in the rear of my property that I'm trying to prepare to rent. It was rather late in the day on Saturday so I just turned the water off and decided to deal with the problem on Monday. So, on Monday, I did a drive-by to assess the situation and discovered another area where water was bubbling to the surface and resulted in quite a large muddy spot. Well now, my head just hurt. So I turned to Yelp to look up 'Plumbers' and started reading reviews and I noticed that Rapid Action Rooter had sooooo many positive comments. I sent a message through Yelp describing the problem and a few minutes later I received a reply from the owner. I called Mandel, the owner, and he said he could come out that afternoon. That was yesterday. Mandel and his assistant were waiting for me when I arrived, both dressed in uniform with company info on the shirt. After I showed him the problem areas he and partner got to work. Mandel discovered there was a hole--more of a slit, in the middle of this piece of copper pipe (buried about 3 feet underground )--so weird. Have NO idea how could've happened...or WHEN! Mandel explained the damaged portion of the pipe needed to be removed and replaced, welded back together. He was transparent about the price and method of payment--uses Zelle, which is super convenient! During our conversation, though, I mentioned some other jobs that needed to be completed in the home. Well, before I could say, "do you know anyone who does...?", Mandel was telling me about his drywall & paint guy, his flooring guy, his electrical guy. But more than merely tell me about the tradesmen, he actually called them before he left so that I could coordinate a day/time to meet with them AND Mandel told them that HE would text them my contact information. What??!! I felt an incredible sense of relief knowing that most, if not all, of the remaining projects in the house will be completed. And it's because I had the great fortune---blessing, actually, of meeting Mandel. I would select Mandel and Rapid Action Rooter Plumbing again and again!!! He's the best!!! read more

Mandel at Rapid Action Rooter is top notch! He was super fast to respond to my drain issue. Easy to initially contact and book service. Came on time and was also very quick to solve the problem. Incredibly polite, professional and effective in communicating the immediate problem and helped me understand how to approach a more long term solve. Will no doubt be booking him again for an inevitable slow drain or running a scope down the pipes to really see what's causing my problem. Thanks again Mandel! read more

These guys are great! I had them come out and fix a sink and a toilet. The price was fair and the guys were quick and on time. They did the job in a couple of hours cleaned up and we're on their way. I highly recommend!! read more

I can't say enough good things about Mandel! He was super responsive. And he took the time to understand what the issue was with my faucet. He was able to determine it was likely a faulty sensor - but he also walked me through the process to override so that my faucet is working again! He went above and beyond, and I really appreciate his kindness. He totally made my whole weekend! Great customer service! : ) read more

Mandel is awesome! He was so easy to book and work with. Unbelievable customer support and super friendly. Would recommend him to anyone in need of a plumber read more

On Saturday I searched for plumbers to fix my clogged toilets and bathtub. Mandel answered my call. That same day my toilets were unclogged. The bathtub was trickier, but was fixed on Sunday. They cleared out clumps of roots and showed me clear video of my root-clogged clay sewage pipe. Mandel explained how they could replace the clay pipe by pulling through new impermeable 4" pipe. I have had years of issues with clogged pipes so decided to go for it. On Monday his team started the job and I witnessed his team fusing pipe and pulling it from a hole near my house to a hole near the street. The foreman kindly explained how the process works as he guided the end of the long stretch of 4" pipe while a hydraulic machine slowly pulled it through the existing pipe. I saw them replace my original 3" clean out with a new 4" two-way clean out. On Tuesday the work was completed, with a new connection to my garage drain line and the three deep holes covered so neatly it was hard to see them. The garage connection was a surprise but handled at no extra cost. The brickwork near my original 3" clean out was replaced so well you would not know it had been removed. Conclusion: it was not cheap, but I am happy with the four consecutive days of labor and the final result I got from Mandel and his Rapid Action Rooter team. And when I look at the trees and shrubs in my front yard I won't have negative thoughts about their roots eating clogging my pipes. read more

My hot water heater was out this morning and I couldn't get it to relight. I called Rapid Action Rooter as I needed someone to come out today and they answered promptly and came out within two hours. Mandel checked the water heater and was able to get it to relight almost immediately and gave me some tips for how to keep it from going out in the future. Mandel was very friendly and very knowledgeable. How much did he charge me for the call - $0. Would definitely call Rapid Action Rooter in the future. read more

Great job , quick response and excellent customer service! Would definetly use them again

Main sewer line cog in my 6 unit apartment building. Back up flooding lower units. This was a real emergency. Placed a service call with Rapid Action Plumbing. The response time was within 90 minutes. The requirements was a 110 ft snake. Job well done. read more

Huge thanks to Mandel and his team. My water heater's tank cracked open on a Sunday, four days before Christmas. He not only took my call, but offered to do the job that very same day. However, after learning from him that the plumbing supply warehouses charge extra to sell parts on Sundays, we elected to do it a day later, and I had a brand new water heater with a 6-year warranty less than 24 hours after calling Rapid Action Rooter. Mandel's team, which is part of a multi-generational family that goes back to Mandel's grandfather, arrived on time and worked quickly and professionally with an exceptionally clean install that even cleared up a small gas leak. Thank you to Rapid Action Rooter for saving our Christmas! read more

Thanks to Mandel and the crew for taking care of my plumbing issue back in January. Rapid Action Rooter's knowledge and custimer service was greatly appreciated. I have been waiting to make my review to ensure all is well and so far so good...going on 3 months read more

My water heater failed and I needed a quick replacement. Mandel was the first company to respond to my quote request, responding at 8pm offering a call immediately to give an accurate quote. The next morning, Patrick came and installed a new Bradford White water heater and did a great job. Thank you for your prompt and expert help! read more

Quickest yelp response. Earliest appointment. Competitive price. What more can you ask for??

A HUGE thank you to Mandell for his trustworthiness and generosity. I called him after hours with an issue, fully expecting to leave a message to book an appointment. He not only answered the phone, but heard me out, asked me to take photos of the issue and then helped me troubleshoot it myself. I really appreciate how generous he was with his time and information! read more

Problem with the main sewer line just outside my front yard . Mandel was not pushy but very professional and patient in explaining the whole process . The workers came on time 10:30 a.m . Finished the job that same day at 4:30 . The plumbers explained the whole process, got to work right away and took video . Cleaned up and left yard as if nothing had been done. Pricing was reasonable for all the work that got done with a 10 year guarantee . Happy that I didn't have to spend $20 -25 thousand . Spent 1/2 of what it would have cost me to replace the whole line . Definitely recommend RAPID ACTION ROOTER . read more

Mandel from Rapid Action is always quick to respond and super transparent about what is needed, why it's needed, alternatives and anticipated costs. He never over charges me and offers more value than he charges. He will remain my go to for plumbing! read more

My property manager and I were totally impressed with both Mandell and Patrick! I had a pipe burst under my house and water was all over the place. Patrick came out not long after I made the initial phone call and took care of business In a few hours. I will definitely be using them again when the need arises. read more

I called Mandel at Rapid Action Rooter. Mandel gave me the price to unclog my bathtub. He was polite, professional and patient answering questions. I value that. I received same-day service. Ron arrived three hours later, which was perfect. Ron is polite, professional and skilled. My bathtub drain cover was difficult to remove. Ron took his time to use the correct tools to delicately remove the cover and ensure that the water drained correctly. My drain is cleared. Ron made my day great. I recommend Rapid Action Rooter. read more

Fast response and great communication. We had a big problem and Mandel and his team (including subcontractors) got right to work. They addressed our initial problem and also warned about other things that would need repair (old house). Excellent work and great customer service. They fixed an auxiliary problem we had had since we had our bathroom renovated. Highly recommend! read more

They respond quickly after contacting us for an urgent plumbing issue and arrived within the schedule time. The technician was professional, polite and efficient. He explained the cause of the problem clearly and resolved it quickly. Their quality of work and attention to customer servie is truly commendable. I will definitely use their services again in the future if needed. read more

We started washing dishes and noticed water pouring onto the floor. Since Mandel had just been over a week prior to fix the main line we asked him if he could send someone to check out this new leak. He said someone would come the next day. They showed up and verified that our pipes are old and rusted and it would need to be replaced. He quickly replaced it and mentioned that all the pipes under the house were the same way and instead of doing onesie twosie repairs we needed to get them all replaced at the same time. So my mom decided to have all the pipes under the house replaced. It took them about a day and a half but they did a beautiful job. I can now take a bath and and the drain actually lets the water out quickly. I attached photos of what our pipes looked like before (rusted/corroded) and how the pipes looked after they got through under the house. They definitely live up to their name. They are RAPID, PROFESSIONAL, KIND, and Knowledgeable. read more

They were recommended to me by my son in law. They were the only company who responded to my request for service within hours after 5 pm when the sprinkler valve broke off and water was flowing into the street. I had to shut off the main water line for the evening but they fit me in early the next morning. Terrance was great. Understood what needed to be done and took care of the repair very quickly. Thank you very much for taking care of my plumbing issue. I will save your phone number in case I need your services again. read more

Dewayne and Mandel were very responsive and helpful when our plumbing project went from being a hydrojet request to a replumbing project because of a previous contractor creating a closed loop system. They sorted out what had gone wrong, fixed it and then created a service point should we ever need to flush our drainage from the backyard again. We would highly recommend them to others for their honesty and fast response time. read more

Called about a water heater I was having trouble with. Mandel had me take pics and send to him. Over the speaker phone he walked me through a few steps to get it up and running. Unheard of service for someone who needs to run a profitable business. I never saw a technician or a bill but I won't hesitate to call him when I need a plumber. Integrity. Check. Thanks again Mandel! read more

I called Mandel when I was at my wits end with my bathroom faucet.

I cannot express how grateful I am and look forward to supporting Rapid Action Rooter with future plumbing needs. read more

My home had a problem with the drainage on a Sunday, we called Rapid Action Rooter and they managed to clear the blockage. They also were able to identify a more serious issue with the drain pipe and provide a quote on the spot. The repair was scheduled for the next day and the crew arrived on time and completed the repair very quickly. Communication was excellent as was the service. I would highly recommend to anyone who is in need of plumbing repairs or service. read more

Requested service, got quick response. Gave a cheap quote over the phone so I booked them. Came in and the quote suddenly jumped up, surprise.. surprise...... and I wanted the issue resolved so agreed. He started the work and price went up for the 3rd time. Finally Got the job done.....hallelujah!!! Then he made a comment "he needs to come back in few weeks because he saw stuff on his camera and didn't have the tools to get them off..... " well seems like they need to make you a regular customer for life.... Bait and switch...... He kept asking for cash, paid Cash and he didn't provide a receipt! read more

Highly recommend!! Mandel came quickly to solve an issue we were having with our brand new toilet, because two things were flushed down that shouldn't have been. We couldn't even flush toilet paper. He came and got the items out within a couple minutes. He was super quick, clean, respectful, and we had nice conversation. read more

Highly recommend! Very professional and transparent about pricing. Dwayne showed up right on time, fixed our problem quickly, and was the nicest guy - our golden retriever loved him too (always a good sign, haha!). Thank you, Mandel and Dwayne, for the great service! read more

We had a clogged kitchen sink, and the plumber fixed it in about 20 minutes. He was friendly and even showed me how to keep the pipes clear. Everything is draining perfectly now. read more

Overpriced!! Checked CSLB website and apparently this business is not licensed. I was charged $250 to replace toilet waxed seal, technician did not replace caulking around the base of the toilet. Condidering he was onsite, asked him to look at the kitchen faucet that required tightening. Technician said he didn't know what was wrong with the unit or how to adjust/repair. Will not be using them in the future. read more

I have used Mandel and his plumbing crew a couple of times now because he's good and fair. The first time I called him, he didn't even come out but told me what it could be and helped me fix it over the phone so he wouldn't have to charge me. Other companies wanted to come out and charge me just to look at the problem. From that point on I new he ran his business on principle and integrity. I called him out to fix a toilet problem and after discussing the issue, was able to pinpoint the problem and fix it. He had Dwayne come out and fix the toilet. He was professional and did efficient work. So efficient, he did the job in less than an hour. Mandel gave me a discount because Dwayne was backed up from reason unknown. It could have been a problem at the previous job he was at or something way to common in LA...TRAFFIC!!! What ever reason it was though, Mandel again showed me what type of business he was running and made it right. Please support these guys cause this is how you keep a good guy and company around. read more

Don't call for drain cleaning. We get roots. A lot. We have our regular plumber come out for maintenance every six to nine months. But we got a blockage and he wasn't immediately available so we tried Rapid Action. They didn't even bother cleaning out the drain. Or rather, they claimed it couldn't be cleaned. They actually ran a camera after rooting and *showed me* that they'd left it 90% blocked! They claimed the only option is a $12K repair. I repeatedly asked: even if I schedule the repair, what more can they do to open the drain in the meantime, that day? More rooting? Hydro jet? All they did was make nonsense excuses about why that wouldn't work (the rooter can only punch a tiny hole through the roots! the jet will let soil get in!). Lesson learned. The next day our regular guy came and cleared out the roots they'd left. We might even do that full repair now, but our regular guy will get our business. read more
